TASMANIA’S Pyengana Dairy Company has been named Delicious magazine’s artisan Producer of the Year.
The outstanding cheese maker from a tiny town in the state’s fertile north-east will add this latest gong — for its tasty cheddar (12+ months) — to its long list of awards.
Celebrity chef and delicious judge Matt Moran declared: “I was really impressed.”
“It was 12 months old, had beautiful salt crystals throughout, beautiful flavour and texture. It’s one of the best cheddars I’ve tasted for a long time.”
Hobart’s Wellington Apiary won the magazine’s top honour in the From The Earth (Artisan) category for its Prickly Box honey.
